FOE YOUNG FOLKS,

Since its first issue, in 1873 this magazine has
maintained with undisputed recognition, the
position it took at the bcginning,-that of be-
ing the most excellent juvenile periodical ever
printed. The best known names in literature
were on the list of contributors from the start
Bryant, Longfellow, Thomas, Hughes, George
Mcdonald, Bret Harte, Bayard Taylor, Francis
Hodgson Burnett, James L. Fields, John g..
Whittier indeed the list is so long that it would
be easier to tell the few authors of note who
have not contributed to "the worlds child mag

The Skowhegall correspondent of the
Madison Bulletia does injustice to the
editor of the REPORTER in his report of
the railroad meeting. What he did say
was that "eyen while the Air Line pro-
ject was at its height he had stated not
only privately but in his paper that he
believed the interests of Skowhegan and
served by the rail following the river"
The Air Line was advocated as a through
line and as such. Skowhegan people were
in favor OF it at the same time for gener-
al business of the river towns, they will
be well satisfied with the Somerset and
the Norridgewock link If the extensions
are only made.
